In a swap of minor leaguers, the Bruins traded center Carter Camper to the Blue Jackets on Friday afternoon for defenseman Blake Parlett.

Camper was an undrafted free agent out of Miami University who the Bruins signed in 2011. The third-year pro is third on the Providence Bruins with 31 points (eight goals, 23 assists) in 41 games this season. He was never called up to the NHL by Boston and was considered behind other center prospects in the organization.

Parlett is on his third organization in less than a year. The 24-year-old was traded from the Rangers to the Blue Jackets last April in the Marian Gaborik deal. Parlett has worked his way up from being primarily an ECHL player into the AHL, and joins a Providence roster in need of defenseman depth with Kevan Miller and David Warsofsky currently on the NHL roster.
